Chelsea suspensions: Who will miss the Champions League final - and what will it mean for the team

Terry not the only one who won't be playing in the showpiece game

Chelsea's stunning Champions League semi-final victory over Barcelona last night came at a heavy price as four players earned yellow or red cards that will rule them out of next month's final against either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.

Here is a run-down of those who will be missing and what impact it might have on Roberto Di Matteo's side.

John TerryThe captain's needless first-half red card for clashing with Alexis Sanchez will deny him the chance of redemption for his penalty shoot-out miss in Moscow four years ago, a mis-kick which cost Chelsea their first chance at Champions League glory.

But putting his personal disappointment aside, the loss of their defensive leader will surely leave a hole at the back that Chelsea - given their other absentees - will struggle to fill.

Branislav IvanovicThe Serb defender, who played most of last night's match as Chelsea's only regular centre-half, talked himself into a suspension when he was booked for dissent for arguing over the award of a penalty for Didier Drogba's foul on Cesc Fabregas.

Lionel Messi missed the spot-kick, but the punishment will still be felt by Ivanovic, who did not seem to realise the implications of the booking until he was told during a television interview after the match - watch his reaction here.

With Gary Cahill hobbling off last night with a muscular injury and Chelsea anxiously awaiting the results of tests, the loss of Ivanovic and Terry means Chelsea could need the injured David Luiz to shake off his own hamstring problem if they are not to go into the final without a single experienced central defender.

RamiresThe Brazilian midfielder found himself playing much of last night's match at right-back in Chelsea's reshuffled backline.

However, he still managed to get forward to score the dramatic 49th minute goal that would have been enough to send Chelsea through before Fernando Torres' late strike made sure.

His audacious chip over Victor Valdes came after he was booked for dissent late in the first half, meaning he already knew he would not be part of the final he was helping Chelsea to reach.

Raul MeirelesThe Portuguese midfielder will pay a heavy price for the 90th minute booking he received for a late sliding tackle on Javier Mascherano.

But the price Chelsea might pay remains to be seen as his absence alongside Ramires will rob Di Matteo of two of his more versatile midfield options.

Florent Malouda, Michael Essien and Salomon Kalou are the players that might stand to benefit, but all have suffered from either injuries or indifferent form and they are likely to leave Chelsea weaker in the middle of the park.
